Overview

• ATEPSA is carrying out a second day of retentions on Sunday that halt departures nationwide from 13:00–16:00 and 19:00–22:00.
• Aerolíneas Argentinas reported to EANA and ANAC that ATEPSA blocked nine flights authorized to depart outside the strike windows, including two international services, affecting more than 800 passengers in that incident.
• The union-led actions have produced widespread disruption, with a prior day’s tally citing 44 cancellations, 59 delays and over 10,500 affected travelers, while the flag carrier projected 42–46 cancellations and 122 reprogrammings today impacting roughly 4,400 passengers.
• Other airlines adjusted operations, with LATAM warning of delays and reprogramming, JetSMART allowing fee-free date changes until September 14, and Flybondi reporting 10 cancellations, more than 35 reprogrammings and about 7,000 passengers affected.
• ATEPSA seeks a wage recomposition, asserting the government offered about 1% monthly as EANA says it proposed a 15% update, and the union maintains it will continue time-windowed measures with exceptions for sanitary, humanitarian and state flights.
